Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute-angled triangle in which AB<AC|AB| < |AC| and let circle kk with center OO be its circumscribed circle. Let PP and QQ be points on sides BC\overline{BC} and AB\overline{AB} respectively such that AQPOAQPO is a parallelogram. Let KK and LL be the intersections of the perpendicular bisector of OP\overline{OP} with circle kk, where KK is on the shorter arc ABAB. Let MM be the second intersection of the line KQKQ with the circle kk. Prove that the point AA belongs to the bisector of the angle QLM\angle QLM.
